Server Saber System

Have modified some settings. Let me know how it feels. May change back and/or further modify as seen fit. Feel free to reply with commentary, ideas, tips, etc.

Spent an hour or more testing late-night, sent my thoughts and report over 3 long-ass Steam PMs. Thanks for tinkering around, I learned a bunch, perspective-wise.

Hit detection is weird for me. I perform way too many ghost hits even though the ping is really low for me considering I dont live far from the server. I don't know what the deal is with that but I just have a problem with the amount of ghost hits im experiencing

Let me know what you guys think and all. On if we should revert back to defaults for the time being and/or keep testing/tinkering currently further.. Lemme know! Trying to get the settings perfect for optimal game play.

I'll test it out sometime soon, just not really sure if I'll notice the differences or what to look for haha

Fine-tuning the saber system looks complicated as hell, I wouldn't wish the task on anyone just from the looks of things.

I don't know what to tell you really, I'll post here if I have new opinions then. I was aware you had to cater to as many as possible with these settings so I've been as accurate and honest as I can.

It's possible that I was still getting used to the previous setting from when I first started playing again, sure there were imperfections but nothing's perfect and in my duels on that setting I could tell where I messed up, felt like less was to blame on shenanigans.

Anyway, I'll continue trying to be helpful and stuff

If you want, I can ask for the School of War saber system settings. The hits and cuts are very on point with extremely minimal ghost hits. Of course, you can fine tune it to your liking but still, the saber hit detection that the SoW uses is very on point. Their server is located somewhere in the Middle of the U.S. and its still pretty on point with the hits and all. So improved ping or worse ping isnt a big issue.

Server Saber System Settings Update V2

SoW uses JA++ (JA+ v2.6 B1)?? And sure by all means if they are willing to share, use the same mod, and you don't mind asking.

Changed some settings again today, and they seem much more fluent, let me know what you guys think..

Changed settings because:
1. research of Raz0r's JA++ Mod (JA+ v2.6 B1) ChangeLog (updates log) had suggested base Values.
2. implementing & experimenting with Raz0r's (JA++ Mod Developer) JA++ Mod suggested base Values.
